I wrote a script as below

#!/bin/bash
echo $1 > temp
cat $2 >> temp
mv temp $2 # this command helps us to retain the original name of the file #

now how to append the script so tht it now inserts the first argument into the middle of the file and also the original file must retain its original name. [IMG]http://www.unix.com/images/buttons/edit.gif[/IMG]

Not clear what you wanna do??
append the script => append which script? append TO what?
middle of the file => Which file?
original file => Which is the original file?
